Shock/Vibration Isolation Mounts

$15.00 Each, with FREE Shipping

One of the most damaging conditions for sensitive electronic assemblies such as computers and audio equipment is excessive vibration and occasional shock. To allow electronic assemblies to be mounted and used on mobile equipment, these Isolation Mounts were developed for Electronic Assemblies or anything that needs to be protected from vibration. They were designed and built to 'cushion' computers, bar-code scanners and radios on Industrial 'Lift Trucks' for use with an RFID warehouse application. This project has been discontinued, and most of these mounts were never deployed. I am listing them as used, however, because most have been mounted. Some may need to be cleaned, as they were stored in a dusty warehouse (paper storage).

I do not have the manufacturer's name for these mounts, but they are likely 'generic' Aeroflex or Enidine. This project was big enough that many parts were produced as OEM specifically for this application. They compare with the Aeroflex C6 (3/16" cable) models, but have fewer coils than standard to create a 'softer' mount. Industrial 'Lift' or 'Fork' trucks are extremely solid and rigid, and transmit shock easily; these mounts have to be very good to accomplish this protection. These Mounts use 3/16" Stainless Steel "Wire Rope" (Cable) to isolate the two independent "rails" of the mount from one another.

These mounts have the 'reverse helical' design that is considered best for protecting from vibration in all directions. 'Cheaper' mounts will have the wire rope all wound in the same direction, and require you to use two or more mounts to achieve 360 degree protection. These mounts individually incorporate both directions of spiral to accomplish this, as an oppositional axis configuration to prevent all shock/vibration from being transmitted to a particular horizontal plane. You can see this in the pictures, as the coils at each end of the mount are directionally opposed, or wound in opposite directions.

These mounts can be used for the following applications:

  • Avionics Electronic Cabinets 

  • Navigation Equipment

  • Over-the-road Transport

  • Shipboard Electronics

  • Audio/Visual Equipment

  • Surveillance Equipment/Cameras

  • Communications Packages

  • Sensitive Electronic Equipment

These mounts are 5" in length, with Center-to-Center on the mounting holes being 4.5". They stand approximately 1.5" high and, with the coils (3/16" cable), are approximately 2" deep (front to back). They were designed for electronics assemblies in the 5-15# range.

These mounts are attached to equipment and assemblies using bolts or screws. The mounts themselves have internal threads that are very close to 1/4"-20, but are not an exact fit (probably metric). I have a number of the required screws (both hex-head and 'countersunk'), and will include four (4) screws per mount as long as they are available.

Some of these mounts are NEW (Unused), some are (slightly) USED (have been mounted), and all are subject to need cleaning, as they have been in storage in a dusty area. I will 'pick' these in the order in which they are sold (newer/cleaner will go first).
